We're joined this week by Paul Medhurst, the man behind VW workshop, classic car showroom and now destination coffee shop Type 2 Detectives. 

Paul recalls telling people his Grandad used to drive an Aston Martin - however, his Mum corrected him one day when she overheard him telling some friends... It was actually an Austin Maxi!

His Dad had an Austin Princess, then a Ford Cortina which they drove to the South of France. His Mum had a VW Beetle, and later a Mini Cooper, which his Dad scored from the neighbour, after a domestic argument over a brand new VW Campervan meant it had to go! 

Paul also records a speedy trip around the block in a Porsche 964 with a mate from school... a car which later inspired him to buy his own 964. 

We hope you enjoy this episode.
